<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 4449730, member: 51&quot;]I did a small garage sale fundraiser and my Swiss 80 year old neighbor brought over a doll that was her grandmothers to add to the sale.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The doll is in terrible shape, neighbor was going to just donate it to the sale if we could get a couple bucks for it, but I set it aside, knowing that some older dolls (even if in rough condition) might have some value, and I thought I&#039;ll just figure it out later, maybe list on Ebay if it made sense and donate the proceeds.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know we have a few doll experts here... all thoughts appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>And here is another matter.&nbsp; When my neighbor brought the doll over, she said, &quot;I already broke the arm&quot; or &quot;the arm fell off&quot;.&nbsp; I noted that the arms were falling apart already (see tape) and that maybe the glue or whatever failed.&nbsp; This neighbor is pretty healthy, still skiing, etc --not like she would have done something dumb like been careless with it.&nbsp; I think it just fell off from age, maybe from being brought out of storage for the first time in 40 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>WELL.... I just go to photograph this doll, who has been sitting gently on our table for the last 12 hours and now I see a huge crack down the face and neck, that I don&#039;t remember from yesterday!!&nbsp; Either I missed this (unlikely) or something about just being out of storage --kind of like the arm falling off, just being in the open air? Temp change?? created this double crack.&nbsp; Sigh of course on my watch but I just set it on the table with utmost care knowing these older things are fragile.&nbsp; Luckily we aren&#039;t talking about a $1K doll or something.&nbsp; Pretty sure neighbor has no expectations other than me maybe selling it on Ebay for charity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sooo.... in current condition with things falling off left and right, does this have any value?? Even $25?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]382827[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]382828[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]382829[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]382830[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]382831[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]382832[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]382833[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
